Behind the door is a huge underground space, even wider than the sinkhole when we first came down.
I couldn't help but sigh to myself: The Yin Ruins are really thousands of miles apart, beyond what anyone can imagine!
But after a while, Lin Jianye and the others also followed in.
Yin Ling'er couldn't help but laughed: "Didn't you say we chose the wrong path? Why are we still following?"
Lin Jianye was too smart to answer, but Qiu Xiuxiu comforted him: "We are all going in and out together along the way, of course we can't be separated. Besides, I can trust Mr. Jiang's ability!"
As a member of the archaeological experts, although Qiu Xiuxiu pays more attention to the interests of the archaeological team, her admiration and trust in Lao Jiang are also real.
Platoon leader Zhang was still grieving over the loss of his comrade and did not say a word.
Suddenly, Lao Jiang seemed to sense something. He closed his eyes and moved his ears, as if he was listening carefully to the sounds nearby.
After a while, Lao Jiang looked happy: "There is a rumor, there is a way to survive!"
Because the wind is blowing, it means that this place is not a closed space, and I chose the right door.
Everyone has changed their views on me, and Baishui is not stingy in his appreciation of me: "Young man, this is very good. On what basis did you choose this door?"
"He, huh, is just blind." Yin Ling'er couldn't stand the compliments given to me by others, so she pursed her lips and hummed. I wasn't angry with Yin Ling'er. On the contrary, I felt that even her appearance at this time was not good. good-looking.
After walking for a few minutes, the front began to become more open, but Yin Ling'er suddenly looked solemn and looked behind her.
He Lanxue asked her what was wrong.
I saw that the big bamboo basket behind Yin Ling'er was shaking quietly, and there was a buzzing sound of insects inside, as if it was a premonition that danger was coming.
"Be good, don't be afraid." Yin Ling'er patted the bamboo basket and sang a low ballad, and the big bamboo basket gradually calmed down.
Yin Ling'er said to He Lanxue: "Master, what's ahead is very scary. Even Lulu and Maomao were frightened..."
Lin Jianye found the right moment and said deliberately: "You have to be careful. If you encounter something in this tomb, it will kill you."
This clearly indicated that he was inserting a knife into Platoon Leader Zhang's heart.
All his subordinates died along the way, and now he was the only commander left.
In addition, there is another meaning, that is, Lin Jianye is hinting to everyone that the path I have chosen may not be the right one. Although I can walk, it is also full of murderous intent!
Qiu Xiuxiu was considerate and said softly: "It's a good thing that you can walk. Otherwise, if you get stuck in the cave, you will be eaten by the giant."
Even now we can still hear the giant's breathing and the sound of rocks hitting. It seems that even now, it has not given up its pursuit of us, and still wants to kill all of us intruders.
While I was talking, I noticed a vague shadow appeared in front of me. It was very tall. Could it be that there was a tomb?
The light of the flashlight was too dim and scattered, and was swallowed up by darkness before it reached a high place.
Lao Jiang looked at Platoon Leader Zhang and asked him if there were any flares there.
Platoon Leader Zhang replied with one word: "Yes!"
Immediately, a flare was fired in front of us. The next moment, everyone present was shocked, and there was the sound of inhaling one after another in their ears.
Because what is before us is not a tomb, but a hill.
A mountain of coffins!
Countless chains covered with green rust were lowered from the top of the mountain, hanging one bronze coffin after another.
Every coffin is hung vertically, row after row, one after another, so densely packed that you can’t even see the edge.
"Oh my God, what is this?"
This is the first time we have seen such a terrifying number of bronze coffins. Thousands of years have passed, and green vines are wrapped around the bronze coffins. They seem to have merged into one body despite the wind and rain.
From a distance, it looks like bunches of green-black grapes hanging there, weird and eerie.
What's more important is that these coffins have no lids, and the shriveled corpses are clearly displayed in front of us.
"One, two, three, west... Oh my god, there must be at least a thousand corpses here." Lu Baoping picked up his notebook and wanted to roughly determine the number, but he couldn't keep counting.
From top to bottom, from left to right, they are all bronze coffins and mummies. This scene is so horrifying! It was as if there was a waterfall of coffins hanging before our eyes.
It even reminds me of an ancient poem that is not very appropriate: Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Old Jiang, but they saw that Old Jiang also showed a hint of fear. This was the first time I saw Old Jiang scared.
But in front of He Lanxue, Lao Jiang still managed to say: "Don't be afraid, Ximei, I'm here!"
He Lanxue ignored him, but Yin Ling'er shrugged her shoulders arrogantly: "You are kidding, how could my master be afraid?"
Lao Jiang never forgot to take me with him. He was going to check the bottom coffin, look for clues, and asked me to follow him.
I reluctantly took a step forward, and then I discovered that the bronze coffin in front of me was almost rotten due to its age. But except for the fat that had been dissolved, the body inside had its skin and muscles still intact, basically becoming a mummy.
And there is a layer of white particles attached to the outside, as if there is a layer of frost.
The other corpses are similar!
Judging from the temperature here, it shouldn't be.
Lao Jiang knew what I was thinking, and corrected me from the side: "That's not frost, but coarse salt."
"Salt?" I was a little surprised and asked him, wouldn't that become bacon?
Lao Jiang said that he didn't understand either, but the surface of the corpse was indeed covered with a layer of salt. It should have been a special technique that used salt to pickle the corpse and preserve it.
Otherwise, after thousands of years, all the corpses here would have rotted away...
"Wen Tao seems to have said that the trees are full of dead people's fruits. Do you think this mountain is the tree he mentioned? But in my opinion, there are no trees that big."
I looked at Lao Jiang, who frowned and looked at the hill and said, "It should be about the shape. Do you think the shape of the whole mountain looks like a huge tree crown? There are green vines wrapped around chains. Wrapped in a coffin, it looks like there are fruits on a tree.”
At this time Baishui came over: "Mr. Jiang, you have rich experience, do you know the function of this hill? It stands to reason that the tomb will rely on some dragon-veined mountains for the sake of Feng Shui, but such a mountain full of corpses is not only bad luck. , what’s the use?”
Lao Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at the gloomy mountain without speaking.
At this time, Du Wenbin pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and mentioned a word: "I wonder if you have heard of it: mountain of corpses?"
Lao Jiang was inspired, his eyes lit up and he said: "Are you referring to the Corpse Mountain in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"? In "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", in addition to recording some strange creatures, it also recorded two of the weirdest One is Qingqiu, and the other is Corpse Mountain. It is said that there are rotting corpses everywhere, hanging one by one, with their heads covering the sky. "
Before Lao Jiang could finish speaking, Yin Ling'er interjected: "Isn't it similar to the situation before us?"
Lao Jiang told Yin Ling'er not to worry and listened to him continue: "Over time, the corpses on the surface of the mountain rotted and turned into corpse water, while the corpses close to the ground began to take root and sprout again after absorbing enough corpse water. There was a forest of corpses. Although these corpse trees grew human organs and flesh, they were incomplete and turned into plants that grew by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon."
I had an idea: "Could it be that the tree Wen Tao pointed to is this weird plant?"
Lao Jiang nodded in approval, indicating that this was a possibility, and continued: "Actually, the mountain of corpses is not scary. What is scary is the plant. The name of the plant is: Gluttony. As you can tell from its name, it eats everything! Although Gluttony is a plant that grows on corpses, this thing is too dead. It belongs to the underworld, not the human world. If it stays in the human world for a long time, it will produce a toxin. This toxin It is forced to eat other things, humans, animals, birds, flowers, plants, anything that is edible and alive, it will eat it, and it will take away the opponent's life force at all costs! "
At this point, Lao Jiang swallowed: "Anyway, just in case, let's leave here as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of sand and gravel falling, and a loud roar like an earthquake, and a huge body appeared in front of us.
The ground here is not blue bricks, the soil is soft, and that thing is taking heavy steps, and when it steps down, it is a big footprint.
"The giant is chasing us!" the people in the team shouted.
In order to kill our group of intruders, it actually curled up and dug into the hole while digging the soil with its big hands. In this way, it chased us all the way until it reached this coffin mountain.
How dare we talk about the mountain of corpses now? We can only run forward without risking our lives. However, at this moment, the team suddenly shouted: "Look, the top of the mountain is red!"
Looking in the direction of his finger, I could see Coffin Mountain, which had just blocked the sky and had a ghostly atmosphere, now seemed to be spitting out red tongues, changing the color of the entire mountain.
Those red tongues were twitching rapidly, their colors were gorgeous, and they were full of bloodthirsty taste.
Lao Jiang yelled something bad: "Gluttony! There is actually gluttony on the mountain, and it's blooming."
